ACTIVITY |
| 100% Reuse |
We are committed to using as many natural resources in the industrialization process as possible, even including the treatment of sewage. |
We process wood by reusing sub-products such as scraps, shells and wood dust. All of the water used by WEG's manufacturing facilities is recycled. |
| Environmental Impact Control |
It is our goal to eliminate or at least minimize environmental impact caused by company activities. |
We evaluate and take control over any major environmental impact that would be caused by solid waste, liquid sewage and air emissions by installing systems to eliminate or minimize them. |
| Industrial Scrapping Area |
We deposit our foundry scrap. |
We have built a scrap deposit in accordance with NBR requirements 10, 157/87 with 3 cells of 13,898, 3,795 and 3.915 square meters of area. An onsite sewage treatment system (ETE) carries a lifespan of 18 years. |
| Water Treatment Station |
We treat all wastewater used in our industrial processes, including tin-coating and phosphatization, greasy wastes, and nitrogen and phosphorous removal caused by auto-phoretic painting processes. |
We have established a new treatment station at WEG Automation and increased capacity at WEG Motores and WEG Tintas stations. |
| Solo Plant at Saw Mills |
We treat our sewerage system, boiler cleaning water and gas cleaning to avoid polluting rivers, with the aim of conserving and recovering Atlantic forest. |
Our Treatment of Roots Zone is a natural system that uses the natural soil associated with typical local trees (Grampineas and Juncáceas), providing high removal of sedimentable solids (98%) with improved removal of Oxygen Bio-Chemical Demand (90%) and Oxygen Chemical Demand (80%). |
